“This foot isn’t going to look pretty and be comfortable to her,” McGann tells Cowboy State Daily, pointing at a deep notch in the hoof.
The cuticle was damaged in an injury and, just like fingernails, likely won’t ever grow back correctly. It's dangerous because the notch could catch on something and tear up the horse's entire hoof, so it has to be trimmed.
McGann's goal, as with all the horses, is minimal intervention.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul [pictured right] signed a dangerous bill legalizing assisted suicide, a move pro-life advocates blasted as putting vulnerable residents at extreme risk of coercion, abandonment and premature death while undermining the sanctity of life.
The amended Medical Aid in Dying Act, signed Friday, theoretically only allows mentally competent, terminally ill adults with six months or less to live to request life-ending medication from physicians.
Religiously oriented home hospice providers can supposedly opt out while ensuring patients can kill themselves elsewhere, and violations are defined as professional misconduct under state education law.
The law takes effect in six months to allow for regulations and training.
I've spent my career fighting for the Constitution, the whole thing, not just the parts that are politically convenient on any given Tuesday.
So, when FBI Director Kash Patel went on Fox News last week and declared, “You cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want,” I was concerned. Let's clarify, Director Patel.
Carrying a gun at a peaceful protest is constitutionally protected. But carrying while committing a crime, such as interfering with law enforcement operations, brings additional criminal charges. Criminal behavior while carrying accelerates the risk to everyone.
The Second Amendment doesn't evaporate because someone is also exercising their First Amendment rights. That's not how the Bill of Rights works. They're not multiple choice.
Cole, who has since de-transitioned, is planning to sue Kaiser, alleging that doctors and staff convinced her and her parents that she should undergo treatments by saying that medical transition was the only way to resolve her gender dysphoria and address her high risk of suicide.
In 2017, Cole says a Kaiser doctor prescribed a puberty blocker for her. In addition to testosterone treatment, doctors recommended surgery and removed Cole's breasts in a 2020 double mastectomy.
A year later, Cole told her doctor she regretted it.

Legalizing assisted suicide in Virginia, which is to poison people to death, has been a goal of the assisted suicide lobby for many years.
The Sunday Times, February 3, 2026:
The French are falling behind the north Europeans and are being caught up by those in the east. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the Poles will be richer than them within ten years.
While small countries such as Luxembourg and Ireland have a gross domestic product (GDP) per capita that is more than double the European average, if that average is set at 100 then Germany, the bloc’s biggest economy, is ranked at 116, the UK is 99 and France is 98, according to Eurostat’s figures for 2024, the latest available.
As for the Italians, who were 10.1 per cent poorer than the French in 2020, they are now on almost exactly the same footing, a separate study by the European Commission has found. The GDP per capita at purchasing power parity — a measure of income per person accounting for currency differences — is $59,453 in Italy and $59,683 in France.
The figures are all the more striking because the EU as a whole is falling ever further behind the US in terms of economic clout, analysts say. They have provoked an outpouring of despair from commentators, particularly those on the right.

Kiano was not terminally ill. Kiano was a diabetic that resulted in him becoming legally blind and experiencing some neuropathy. But Kiano was driven to seek death by euthanasia based on his mental health.
Kiano's mother explains in the interview how shocking it was for her to learn on January 3, 2026. Kiano was originally approved to be killed by euthanasia in September 2022, but his death was averted, at that time, when his mother launched a social media campaign, with the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, to change the mind of the euthanasia doctor.
